Cincinnati Charger Tape Layer Systems automated Composites Processing

The Cincinnati ChargerSeries includes both contour and flat tape layers available in high rail, low rail and bed type configurations to meet production and facility requirements.

CHARGER Tape Layers achieve up to 25 degree contours and up to 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) lay-up rate. The machine features Fives newest generation tape head which is the market’s most productive and accurate at compacting layers of carbon/epoxy tape.

CHARGER tape layers are excellent for high productivity lay-upof large laminates of variable thicknesses that are then cut intosmaller pieces. The material then can be press or drape-formed.These machines feature programmable compaction force andoptional vacuum lay-up/cutting tables and ultrasonic laminatecutting enabling superior quality andperformance.

Small Flat Tape Layer (SFTL)

The Cincinnati SFTL is designed and built to migrateproven modules and technologies from our larger composites products to an affordable, right-sized, yet extreme productive platform. The Small Flat Tape Layer with its simplified, but versatile tape headand integral vacuum lay-up table is well-suited for new users thatare making the transition from hand lay-up as well as for thoseusers that are already experienced in automatedlamination.

CHARGER Tape Layers are offered with a choice ofadvanced technologies needed for high production tape layingincluding:
